Start-up Hans Airways has appointed Seema Verma to the role, bringing 25 years’ travel industry experience to the role, in which she will manage the airline’s relationships with UK-based agents and TMCs.
Verma, who speaks Punjabi, started her career in aviation at Birmingham airport and has previously held customer support roles with Emirates, Lufthansa, KLM and others.
Her final customer-facing role was with British Airways before a spell in banking and foreign exchange. She returns to travel as Hans gears up to launch, pending the formal award of a UK air operator’s certificate by the CAA.
